FireEye Demonstrates Superior Email Threat Detection with No-Cost Cloud Email Evaluations

FireEye, Inc., the intelligence-led security company, today announced the availability of a new capability that allows organizations to evaluate email threat detection efficacy with a no-charge evaluation service powered by FireEye Email Security.

"Email continues to be the most prevalent attack vector, and adversaries are taking advantage. In fact, our recent study found that less than a third of email traffic was considered ‘clean’," said Ken Bagnall, vice president of email security at FireEye. "With the introduction of FireProof Email Threat Analysis, we provide the ability for organizations to assess their cloud email security – at no charge. The evaluation analyzes an organization’s delivered email to determine if advanced threats are getting past current defenses. And in the evaluations that we’ve run for organizations, we’ve found a significant amount of malware that had bypassed their existing security tools."

FireProof Email Threat Analysis takes less than 5 minutes to set up

Now available as part of FireEye’s new demo center – FireProof – Email Threat Analysis is designed to help organizations easily discover how they can better protect themselves against today’s email-based threats. The evaluation is free, with no software or hardware to deploy, and no email delivery interference. The process takes less than five minutes to set up, consisting of three intuitive steps:

• Fill out the evaluation request form,
• Authorize access to Office 365, and
• In 2-4 days, receive a report, describing in detail each piece of malware found.

According to the latest FireEye Email Threat Report, approximately one out of every 100 emails is of malicious intent. For organizations wondering if email is being used to target their employees, FireProof Email Threat Analysis offers a simple, no-cost way to find out.
